NICARAGUA CANAL EXPEDITION.

Yesterday the departure OF the
expedition to complete the survey
for the Nicaraguan canal attract d
con siderable attention. What the sue
cess Of the preliminary operations
will be we are not able TO foretell, but
the promises on the part ofthe company
are, In all respects, encouraging, and the
fact that Engineer Menocal years ago
surveyed the route and reported 1t TO be
perfectly practicable, induces confidence
in the enterprise. On the same day De
Lesseps announced that he had given up
his plan of tile level canal Al Panama,
and adopted a grade level with locks
At the time when De Lcss-ps' voice de-
riied in favor OF the Panama route, he
did it on the ground that a iide-leyel
canal was indisp nsiblc 10 success.
Perhaps he thought the task OF cutting
through the rocky backbone Of the con
linent at the point where nature had made
il strongest was AS easy as digging out
nasse. Of sand between the two seas and
making tide level canal Of the great
Suez water way.
The pres. generally think this act OF
De Lesseps confession Of failure, a.
though he boldly uses it as an argument
with which to cajole gullsble Frenchmen
out of some money.
II chief object Of the new surveys
for the Nicaragua Canal is to test the
praclicablity OF extending arlidcially the
level Of the lake and shortening the lines
ofeIcaYalion. As originally laid out The
route was 40 miles in length, from Grey
town to Brilo, with sill water nayiga-
ton for 1919 miles. Engineer Peary and
his assistants will now perfect the pro
yisional surveys with view to ascertain
ing whether the level Of the lake cannot
be extended about twelve miles further
eastward with a view to saving that
much distance in eIcayaling.
We have pointed out before the vast
importance of the inter-oceanic ship ca

Boston has obtained r colossal statue
OF the identical Pharoah, who WAS So
wicked TO the lsraelites. Ii was brought
from Egypt and given to Boston, prob
ably because its native land had ceased
to appreciate it, and Boston, rs great
historical Renaissance n.porlum, could
do more for the ancient history OF Eeypt
than Egyp! could for itself. The in
scriplion ON the back Of the statue is as
follows:
"Ru. Mennu Neb Ruta-a Uor Neb

TO the great consecrated over Lord OF

Two lands means upper and lower

the field discloscs the fact that the South
